This ground-breaking book is one of the first to analyse the
important phenomenon of South-South educational migration for
refugees. It focuses particularly on South-South scholarship
programmes in Cuba and Libya, which have granted free education to
children, adolescents and young adults from two of the world's most
protracted refugee situations: Sahrawis and Palestinians. Through
in-depth multi-sited fieldwork conducted with and about Sahrawi and
Palestinian refugee students in Cuba and Libya, and following their
return to the desert-based Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria and the
urban Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, this highly pertinent
study brings refugees' views and voices to the forefront and sheds
a unique light on their understandings of self-sufficiency,
humanitarianism and hospitality. It critically assesses the impact
of diverse policies designed to maximise self-sufficiency and to
reduce both brain drain and ongoing dependency upon Northern aid
providers, exploring the extent to which South-South scholarship
systems have challenged the power imbalances that typically
characterise North to South development models. Finally, this very
timely study discusses the impact of the Arab Spring on Libya's
support mechanisms for Sahrawi and Palestinian refugees, and
considers the changing nature of Cuba's educational model in light
of major ongoing political, ideological and economic shifts in the
island state, asking whether there is a future for such alternative
programmes and initiatives. This book will be a valuable resource
for students, researchers and practitioners in the areas of
migration studies, refugee studies, comparative education,
development and humanitarian studies, international relations, and
regional studies (Latin America, Middle East, and North Africa).
